The Plan

🌿 Welcome to Thrive with Isabelle

Home of Lose Weight – Once and For All 

The full 8-week plan is on its way — and I can’t wait to share it with you!


Below you’ll find why it works and free resources.

The Plan - At a Glance

✨ It’s time to stop starting over — and start finishing strong.


This plan isn’t another fad or subscription box. It’s a simple, balanced way of eating that helps you feel satisfied, energized, and confident in the kitchen.


👉 Whether you’re ready for the full 8-week program or just want to try one week, I’ll show you how to make real food work for real life.


And here’s the heart of why I built it: my children and grandchildren are my biggest motivation. When I joined Noom in 2022, every goal I wrote down began the same way — “I want to be healthy, vibrant, and full of energy for my little grandchildren. And for my kids, too.”


For almost a year, I logged every bite. I lost some weight — but when my husband became seriously ill, I couldn’t keep up with the constant tracking. Just like every other program before it, Noom hadn’t taught me the skills I needed to succeed when life got hard. I was set up to fail the moment real life took over.


That’s when I knew something had to change. I needed a plan that worked in the middle of chaos — not just when everything was going smoothly.


This is that plan. And it makes the same possibility real for you, too — showing up strong for yourself, and for the people you love most.

Why This Plan Works

  • Balanced, not extreme → 3 meals a day, with protein, fiber, and calcium built in.
  • Simple & satisfying → quick meals, easy grocery lists, family-friendly recipes.
  • Food-first → no gimmicks, no prepackaged “meals in a box.” Just fresh food, simple prep, and smart swaps.
  • Proven results → I’ve lost weight, improved my labs, and kept it off after 40 years of struggle. My family eats this way too.

What You'll Get

  • 8 weeks of done-for-you meal plans
  • Matching grocery lists
  • Step-by-step prep guides
  • Family-friendly recipes
  • A system you can repeat for life

Start with Just One Week

Not ready for 8 weeks? Begin with the One Week Challenge — a simple way to reset, see results, and prove this works.


✨ One wrap, one bowl, one balanced plate at a time — real food that fits into real life.


In just 7 days, you’ll see how easy it is to:


  • Cut sugar without feeling deprived 
  • Stay satisfied with meals that are filling and delicious 
  • Build confidence in the kitchen with quick, fresh recipes
     

Think of it as your test drive: one week is all it takes to feel the difference and show yourself you can do this.

The Big Difference

📦 Meals in a box may be convenient, but they’re not fresh — and they don’t teach you lasting skills.


🌿 This plan is different: simple to prepare, satisfying, and sustainable meals you can enjoy every day.


It’s not about dieting, tracking every bite, or eating out of cardboard boxes and plastic trays. It’s about learning how to cook, eat, and enjoy real food — without overwhelm.


I’ll show you how to keep it simple — and how to make it last.


🚀 Lose Weight – Once and For All isn’t about starting over. It’s about finishing strong.

✨ Think of this as your roadmap — a simple way to explore what’s ahead, one step at a time.

A Plan That Finally Works

Like this colorful Mediterranean spread, the plan brings together balance, variety, and real food — and shows just how powerfully the foods you choose can transform your health. Simple changes really can be life-changing.


After decades of dead ends, I realized something had to change.


I created the plan I’d been searching for: structure, balance, and real food.


This program is designed to:


  • Eliminate added sugar and most processed foods
  • Balance protein at every meal
  • Provide calcium morning & evening — planned into meals so you easily get it from real food
  • Include enough fiber to keep you satisfied
  • Deliver daily nutrient balance so you feel energized and in control


✨ Family-friendly, quick to make, and satisfying — you won’t feel like you’re on “diet food.”


👉 But that’s only the beginning — below, I’ll show you why this plan works, how it’s different, and give you free tools to get started today.

⚖️ Why Diets Keep Failing Us

We’ve all been there — cutting carbs to the bone, logging every bite, chasing quick fixes.


They don’t just fail us — they can even wreck our metabolism.


And now, many people are turning to diet pills or injections. But just like restrictive diets, they can’t teach you how to nourish your body day after day. Results rarely last.


The real reason diets fail:


  • Empty promises
  • No real balance
  • Slowed metabolism
  • Nutrient gaps


After decades of dead ends, I realized something had to change. I created the plan I’d been searching for: structure, balance, and real food — without extremes or overwhelm.

  

The scale and tape measure may track numbers, but true success comes from balance and nourishment — not quick fixes.

⏳ One Week Challenge

Not ready to commit to 8 weeks? Start with just one.


You’ll be amazed at what 7 days can do.


For 7 days, follow the meals exactly as they’re laid out:


  • No added sugar
  • No nutrient gaps
  • No guessing


At the end of the week, ask yourself:


  • Do you feel more satisfied and in control?
  • Have your sugar cravings dropped — maybe even disappeared?
  • Do you feel lighter, healthier, and more energized?


✨ One week can change everything — it’s how I proved this plan worked before committing to the full 8 weeks.


Meal prep doesn’t have to be bland — it can be colorful, satisfying, and a real turning point in just one week.

🍴 Simple, Delicious Meals You’ll Actually Enjoy

Healthy eating should feel satisfying, flavorful, and simple — not complicated or boring. Some meals in the plan include full recipes where needed — all of them quick, easy to prepare, and even fun to make. Others are straightforward combinations you can put together in minutes.


Here’s  a taste of the delicious and satisfying meals you’ll find inside the plan:


🥣 Breakfast Samples


  • Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon & Fresh Fruit
  • Berry Banana Loaf with Greek Yogurt & Fruit (recipe included!)
  • Garden Veggie Frittata with Toast & Fruit


🥗 Lunch Samples


  • Mediterranean Hummus & Veggie Wrap with Olives, Greek Yogurt & Fruit
  • Turkey & Swiss Pita Pocket with Greek Yogurt & Fruit
  • Greek Power Bowl with Quinoa & Feta (or another hearty favorite like a Chicken & Veggie Burrito)


🍽 Dinner Samples


  • Eggplant (or Chicken) Parmesan with Dinner Salad (recipe included!)
  • Turkey Chili with Dinner Salad (recipe included!)
  • Smart Spaghetti Bowl 🍝 with Whole Wheat Pasta & Lean Protein with Dinner Salad (recipe included!)


✨ Many recipes last three nights — less cooking, more living. That’s the kind of balance this plan is built on.


Delicious pasta bowls, hearty wraps, and fresh frittatas prove that balance can taste amazing.

Real-World Flex Meals 🍕

Family pizza night, quick Subway lunch, even a turkey gyro — you can enjoy it and still stay on track.


That’s why this plan includes a Full Eating Out Guide with portion tips and swaps.


Yes, even pizza night can fit — this plan is about balance, not restriction.

🥗 The Power of Three Meals

Flexibility matters — but so does consistency. That’s why this plan is built on three balanced meals a day.


Three meals are enough to keep energy steady and calories in check.
Spacing meals 5–6 hours apart gives your body a natural reset without stress.


“Three meals a day. Steady energy. Lasting results.”


Benefits include:


  • Easier weight loss
  • Better digestion & blood sugar balance
  • More satisfaction at meals


✨ To make it even easier, I created the Free Foods Guide — a simple list of foods you can enjoy anytime, without throwing off your balance.


Three balanced meals a day is a rhythm your body can trust — simple, steady, and sustainable.

💊 Smart Supplements That Support Your Journey

Food will always come first in this plan — every meal is designed to cover your key needs with protein, calcium, fiber, and balance. But sometimes, the body benefits from a little extra support that’s hard to get from diet alone.


That’s why I also recommend a few targeted supplements — especially helpful for women — such as:


  • Omega-3s → support heart, brain, and anti-inflammatory health 
  • Vitamin D with K2 (MK-4) → for strong bones and calcium balance 
  • CoQ10 → supports energy production and heart health 
  • Magnesium → helps with sleep, energy, and muscle function
     

✨ These aren’t “miracle pills” — just smart additions that work with your meals, not against them. Inside the program, I’ll also be creating a supplements guide that covers the most important nutrients we can’t always get from food, trusted brands that keep budget in mind, and clear guidance on how and when to take them. I’ll even include links for setting up subscriptions to make life easier.


And most importantly, always check with your doctor before starting any supplement — especially to make sure they won’t interact with other medications you may be taking.

💧 Sip Smarter: Drinks That Work

What you drink matters just as much as what you eat. Drinks are sneaky — a single sweet latte or “healthy” juice can undo the balance of your whole day.


Water First (with a Twist)


  • Aim for 6–8 cups daily — sparkling counts, too.
  • Add lemon, cucumber, or mint for a refreshing boost.


Coffee & Tea


  • Yes, you can keep your coffee!
  • Black or with unsweetened almond/oat milk.
  • Herbal teas are a soothing anytime option.


✨I’ll share my personal “secret recipe” — a frothy, chocolaty coffee drink that helped me finally give up vanilla creamer for good.


Mocktails Made Easy


  • Sparkling water + splash of cranberry, citrus, or pomegranate.
  • Mediterranean-inspired mocktail recipes inside..


Skip the Sugar Bombs


  • Sodas, energy drinks, juice blends, and flavored coffee drinks can pack 200–400 “invisible” calories.


A Smarter Treat


  •    My Chocolate Almond Milk Recipe (included!) — a calcium-rich, low-calorie sip I enjoy daily.


Refreshing drinks, simple swaps, and smarter treats help you sip your way to success.
